Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsGood quality feel, but worried it might not be very sturdy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2019
Bought this since my old protector sleece was too big for my new Yoga S730. I will compare this against my old protector which was pretty perfect (except too big).
Pros
Firstly I can say this fits fairly well, with minor space around, so not a custom fit, but reasonably well.
The feel of the material is good, it feels like memory foam
It should protect the laptop from a minor drop of a couple of feet. (not that I would really want to test it)
Mine came with a free mouse mat
Cons
Major issue is that the sleeve has not rigidness to it, so I don't feel it would protect the laptop from any pressure exerted on it (say pressure from someone accidentally leaning on one side of it). My old one felt much more rigid and protective.
In summary, I would say that I'm not too confident with this to protect my laptop very well from anything other than a minor drop, however it does fit well and is better than no sleeve at all. I'd say given the price point, I rate it average. If it was much more expensive I would have rated it less than the 3 stars I give it.
Update 2 July 2019: I've had contact with the seller and they have explained that the purpose of this sleeve is for maximum portability and for preventing scratches etc to you laptop whilst travelling. It isn't designed to give ultimate protection against dropping your laptop and have confirmed they sell other products which are more suited to that purpose.
I stand by my initial review and rating and do point out that this is not a bad product, and that I do intend to keep it.
